Abstract (EN): The purpose of this work is to evaluate an adaptive controller which incorporates an alarm system, based on two different statistical methods: forecasting techniques and Walsh-Fourier spectral analysis (WFA). The resulting adaptive control system with an individual reference profile suitably tuned to the specific real case under control, contributes to the improvement of the overall reference tracking. The control of the neuromuscular blockade is used as case study.
